In this article, we use data on work and telework from a COVID-19 supplement to the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 collected from February to May 2021. We examine whether the likelihoods of work and telework are associated with background characteristics related to demographics, education, geography, and prepandemic jobs. We also focus on differences between women and men and differences between individuals with children enrolled in school and those without children enrolled in school. Additionally, we examine factors associated with the likelihood of children in the individual's household attending remote or in-person schooling.

Most skills acquired through on-the-job training may be specific to an occupation and therefore transferable to some but not all firms. This paper explores the relationship between the size of the local market for an occupation-specific skill and job-training outcomes. The Stevens (1994) model of training predicts that as market size increases, job turnover increases and training becomes more general. I test these predictions using data on blue-collar workers and variation in market size across US metropolitan areas. The empirical results support the theoretical predictions and the impacts are most relevant at low levels of market size.
